Blockchain, cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin. Do they sound like buzzwords to you too?

But who says this language is for nerds only? 😎 Ladies and gents, it’s about time someone explains why cryptocurrencies are something you can’t miss if you want to boost your revenues, get more clients and why not, adopt the latest payment trends.

But first… let me tell you a word or two about what blockchain, Bitcoins, and cryptocurrencies mean

A blockchain is… hmm… Think about it like a new Internet.

It’s a network where all the transactions (regardless of their type: financial transactions, messages, links, etc.) are recorded chronologically, with no possibility of removal. As it is a digital medium, the members of this network pay in virtual coins called cryptocurrencies. Every time someone makes a payment using cryptocurrencies, that transaction is stored forever.

It’s much more secure, fast, reliable, fee-free than any other online payment.

Today, there are many cryptocurrencies out there, the most popular being Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple. A lot of people use them, especially Bitcoin, which seems to take on cash, as more places accept payments in crypto. The same goes for the camming industry as more and more studios accept cryptocurrencies because many of the clients/models ask for this functionality.

How Bitcoin can help you earn more money as a cam model

Now that we’ve got all the technical terms out of the way let’s get to the fun part: making more money! Below, I have summed up five reasons why Bitcoin (and cryptocurrencies in general) can significantly boost your revenue and get you more clients with minimum effort.

1. You will actually save money, can you believe it?

Well, believe or not, over the years, in the US alone, people have paid over $78 billion in fees for transaction processing. That’s insane! Bitcoin, in exchange, does not require a bank or any other financial institution to verify every transaction. That means it’s fee-free! No more sharing your hard-earned money with banks, so more money for you.

2. You can acquire new customers

Cryptocurrencies are really popular these days, and many of those early adopters are your clients too. By accepting cryptocurrency payments, you can attract more customers to your profile and increase your revenue. By the way, crypto-tips are the new fanciness! They grow over time if you know what I mean! 😍

3. You avoid fraud and chargebacks

No, I’m not getting into technical details here (I don’t wanna bore you) but when it comes to frauds, cryptocurrencies are hard to be played. That’s because of the technology behind it, which doesn’t allow people to steal money from other people’s wallets without being noticed by everyone in the network.

What’s even more interesting (especially for us who care so, so much about privacy) is that Bitcoin also offers a unique and easy way to make a payment without needing to disclose your personal information. That means if the President of (*insert here whatever country you fancy more*) sends you some money, nobody else knows that, except the two of you. Of course, you can make this public if you want, but that’s up to you.

4. You don’t have to exchange your money

Yes, darling. Whoever told you – you’ll have a hard time exchanging your cryptocurrencies – didn’t make his homework. Bad boy, or girl. How come? Let me explain this to you.

If you’ve ever traveled abroad, you know that you need to exchange your money for the local currency to be able to make purchases. Since cryptocurrencies do not belong to any country or financial institution, they can be used internationally. This means they help you avoid the expensive foreign transaction fees or exchange rates, so you end up with more money to use for shopping! Pretty cool, ain’t that right?

5. Think of Bitcoin as an investment

Slowly but surely, cash is becoming a thing of the past, as almost everyone is using credit or debit cards. You can expect the same to happen to cards as cryptocurrencies become more and more popular. Besides, the value of your cryptocurrencies can grow over time if you choose to keep them, instead of spending them right away. Suddenly you’re an investor as well!
